The Italian banking system looks vulnerable to collapse whether the referendum is passed in Italy or not. Were the referendum passed, it may allow senior Italian and international bankers to further ‘kick the can down the road’ and delay the inevitable.

Financial and economic contagion in the EU is the likely outcome of the financial and political mess that both Italy and other EU states find themselves in. The question is increasingly not if, but when.

Bail-ins are “now the rule” and depositors need to begin preparing by diversifying and not have all their ‘saving eggs’ in the ‘bankers basket’.

An important way to protect investments and savings is to be diversified and have a healthy allocation to physical gold – both in one’s possession and in secure storage, in the safest vaults in the world.

I founded GoldCore more than 10 years ago and it has been my passion and a huge part of my life ever since. I strongly believe that due to the significant macroeconomic and geopolitical risks of today, saving and investing a portion of one’s wealth in gold bullion is prudent.

I have been an Executive Director in GoldCore since its foundation and today I am Marketing and Research Director.

As our customer base grew both domestically and internationally we were receiving a steady stream of requests from our clients and wider public for detailed analysis of the precious metals market. To meet this demand, I stepped into the Research Director’s role and am responsible for helping to inform and educate our clients and followers on how to protect and grow their wealth through owning gold and silver bullion.
